Ordering from David's tea

I am thinking of placing an order from David’s tea and was interested in fellow steepster recommendations? This will be my first time ordering and to get the best deal (in regards to shipping price) I should order $50 worth. Any recommendations or thoughts would be appreciated!!! (Currently considering the pumpkin chai, buttered rum, gunpowder taffy, Read my lips, champagne) Thanks!!!

I haven’t ordered yet, just been trying to figure out what to get. I really want to try the luscious watermelon, Pumpkin Chai and the Marsala wine tea. Actually the whole fall and wine collections look good. You’ll have to let us know what you get! I hope to order friday!

Turkish Delight is awesome, the chai guarana has me interested, cafe mocha is one of my faves, based on 52teas Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast I want to try the Buttered Rum, pumpkin chai (it is that season after all), Gail’s cold remedy (dying to know if it works and tastes good), Matcha Matsu and organic (never tried these, but never met a matcha I didn’t like), curious to know if the strawberry rhubarb crumble has any “crumble” to it, oooh and I’ve GOT to try the coffee pu erh and cocoa paridiso. I was just looking at the entire wine set about an hr ago. Funny. And an anti recommendation- the citron oolong as way too much citron and not enough oolong- tastes like an herbal tea.

The shipping thing — yeah. I’m in Newfoundland, and it has taken Purolator a week with each of my orders. Purolator needs a week from Montreal to St. John’s? This time I chose freebie Canada Post, and not only is their tracking service better … they estimate they’ll have the parcel to me in a week.

So it depends on where you are in relation to Montreal. But on the final checkout page, you do have the option to choose Canada Post instead of Purolator, and I think CP should come up free.

Can’t help you, since I just placed my first order with them! I got the Fall collection, Buttered Rum, Oh Canada, Swampwater, and Lime Bang. Debated the Wine collection, and kind of regretting not going for it. Can’t wait to try them!

I haven’t gotten the estimate yet…I’ll probably get an email from them today about it. I had some issues with ordering on the site (most likely user-error), and have been emailing one of their employees back and forth. He’s taking care of everything for me. I’ll let you know how long it takes!

Just to let you know I placed my order last night and this afternoon I received an email that they shipped it already… no delivery estimate but I can track it via Canada post to the US so i will let you know how long it tastes to get here. The website says 3-5 days but I am not sure if that is just if you are in Canada.

Ok I broke down and placed my first order- I ordered Buttered Rum, Pumpkin chai, gunpowder taffy, Read my Lips, Oh Canada, Mothers Little Helper, Banana Nut bread. Anxious to try it! I was tempted by the wine collection but will order that another time because I want to order the Republic of Tea Red Velvet!! :) Thanks for the comments!

I’m interested in ordering from David’s Tea.. but there are so many flavors I want.. and I can’t justify spending lots of money on tea at the moment. I’ve been wanting to try the tiramisu tea, but I can’t find it on the website. Is this a retired flavor or am I missing the page?
I wish that they had smaller sizes so that you could try the flavors instead of buying a $6-7+ bag of tea without knowing if you’ll like it. They all look delicious!

They’re including 3 samples with each online order these days, and I think you can ask for which samples you get on the comments box when you place your order. Not sure if that helps.

I think the Tiramisu was one of those seasonal teas that they yank after a few months. Mind you, if you drop them a note, they’ll probably check their stash to see if thye have any (unadvertised) left. I’ve found the customer service through the David’sTea webiste to be excellent.

I just went through this too in placing my first order with Davids. Everything sounded so good! They have some great looking combo packs that allow you to sample a lot of different flavors. You pay a small premium for the variety but you have to make fewer decisions. One of my items is the Fall sampler collection to which I’m looking forward. As an aside, I chose Canadian postal service for shipping and I’m getting emailed tracking updates from them. US postal doesn’t do that, do they?
